As the owner/builder of an M273 swapped GLK I say yes it's way better than the M113
I’ve wanted to do that! What a rocket
@@DCMotorWerks oh yeah it rips, with the 6 speed manual it's so much fun. I'm investigating an M275 swap now.
@@peanutpckrupper3323 definitely should do that 💯 I have a E550 (m273) my brother in law has a cls 63 amg . Which is the m275 I believe . and that shit is quick / sounds amazing
This was such a great video🙌🏼
So informative and thoroughly said, I appreciate the channel very much!
281k miles on our 2009 GL450. Oil changed every 5k miles. Sent an oil sample from the last oil change to the lab to check the health of the engine. Elevated levels of iron, possibly from the cams. Just gonna keep running it as long as it’ll go! I just want to hit 300k, then it doesn’t owe me any more than that.
We have one that comes for service with about 305k on it.
Rebuilding my m272 right now
Great video again guys, loved to watch it and also great that you made an in depth technical video about a specific engine again - love this kind of content
You guys somehow manage to always have a great vibe in your videos and I also really like that fact that your technicians are involved in the videos as well, keep on going and you'll become a very successful channel - I'm totally sure about that
Drink a beer on me 🍺, best greetings from Germany
I really enjoy these technical projects. Thanks for the great explanation.
good video didn’t know much about these engines, shop looks like a cool environment to work in 👏
We have a great time! Thank you.
M119 was badass. Great reliable engine. My S500. Is old reliable now, never have a issue or worry
Love the M119. I still consider that more of a vintage V8. Planning a video on that engine....
We had an s550 with head gasket problems that we fixed with engine sealer. I know it’s ghetto but it worked fine at 258k miles the driveshaft going to the front wheels wobbled and smacked a hole in the side of the transmission. Idk if it’s better than the 113.

Can't wait for the next video

are the replacement parts better then the old stuff that breaks? i wish you were in Texas!
Generally yes. It is case by case though.
What's the most reliable v6 and v8 Mercedes engine(s)? I love the Mercedes styling and performance. Lexus have the reliability but the performance is dull.
I’m going to put a m273 in my c350 🌞
Don't M272 and M273 suffer from bore scoring and tapping noise on idle when hot?
The 278 does
Can I contact you to do mine in the future?
Evan needs to step up and get that M278
Forbidden fruit
@@DCMotorWerks The later ones are much better but then they are also way more expensive. Most of the forbidden fruit is like a 2011 S63 or 2012 E550 or something early. That I would stay away from.
I have a procharged unopened M273. It’s a rocket in my E class
I'd like to experience that.
What’s your instagram can you send me images or a video
Could I do in my s550
Later BMW V8 are much better. The N63 of this era 14:00 had problems, too.
BMW has yet to make a V8 engine that is worth its weight. scored cylinders, timing chain problems, valve stem seals, oil leaks galore. They're awful.
@@DCMotorWerks
Kind of showing your lack of knowledge there. But since you do not work on then, how could you know?
I'd say the last good bmw v8 was in the e38/39 chassis with the M62/S62 engine... all the later ones are not reliable in my opinion, talk about connecting rods and other problems in the S65 M3 or the even newer ones you talked about with the N63 that have all sorts of problems
I have to admit though BMW always delivers on their bread and butter motors, the inline sixes (not the diesel ones anymore unfortunately)
I think overall every manufacturer has their own great designs and innovations but also horrible engineering choices on the other hand so it's basically hard to say that one brand overall is good or bad
No. It is not.
WHAT A SHIT ENGINE when you have to repair it after 38k miles!! 38000 miles IS NOTHING!! This is a VERY VERY BAD ENGINE!!!!
He explained why. I’ve had 3 cars with the M273 and currently have 1 (E550). Have never had a hint of a problem with the ones I’ve owned. There was a batch (pre 2006) that had bad teeth on the timing gear. They were pro rated under warranty. But the 273 in general is a solid V8 and they make great power (400hp) from a naturally aspirated engine. I’ve never had one go wonky on me. And always maintain a perfect idle.
